No Plot .
This drama is the most unrealistic drama of all time. They spent a ton of money just to make it look aesthetically pleasing. Every Korean romcom has a story but this drama doesn't even have a plot.First of all, the male lead just randomly falls for the girl. He had no reason to fall for her.
Secondly, his only character is doing romantic things for the girl. He doesn't do anything else in his life. He only keeps gifting the girl lavish things and waits for her to finish work so they can eat together. In other dramas like business proposal and what's wrong with secretary Kim the men had a life outside romance and worked hard to build up their empire. But over here, the male lead doesn't care about the hotel that has handed over to him or about anything else.
It gets annoying after a point.
He's like the typical rich boy with good fortune with no ambition or personally whatsoever.
This is definitely very overrated and not worth the hype.

BEST HISTORICAL KDRAMA !!!!!!
After a long time a drama that is soothing as well as which could prick ones heart have got to watch ,the potrayal of lead characters is quite appreciatable and commendable , when they longed for each other we longed for them to be together more , even though there were episodes were the leads doesn't have scene together one doesn't feel to skip because each character had a worthy story to tell about .Two characters who called themselves selfish but when the time came they forgot themselves and fought for others with all their might , The depiction of female lead is quite good neither a whining girl who is waiting for her prince nor a girl who can fight off ten men but simply a girl who is strong willed and believes in what she does , her characters growth from the beginning to the end is vast . Talking about lead male ,what to say when the actor emotes with his eyes even we shed our tears along with him , the character is too deep , a noble born man but do like to be known as man who brought noble title with money , tells he has no empathy for people but all he did was simply live for them , a hero who doesnt gives a motivational speak of patriotism but someone who simply speaks with his actions , his words not nurtured by many yet it was all him who had wise ideas and tried to colloborate with everyone , courage not in his words but in his veins , last but not the least that laugh with that "aigoo"! how can one forget it , the depth of his love for his Gil chaye makes one wonders what is it to love a person , even after knowing she was pregnant though she was decieving him with it he simply wanted her to be happy , he wants nothing but simply her happiness.
If someone ignored this masterpiece thinking they have no taste in historical drama they are simply fathoming a brilliantly written and acted drama , which could show you one of the finest lovestories of joseon era ❤️

It's worth your time !!!!
Emotions, romance, each and every thing is so believable and put to perfection. Lee min ho is an amazing actor and how he has embraced the KING character is brilliant. He is so true to it. Gentle and respected. Same goes with Kim go eun. She is so natural and effortless. Woo do hwan steals the show with his sheer versatility, acting two opposite characters to such perfection.
There is no unnecessary drama or misunderstandings between the two leads which they usually add in such genre of drama, which is incredible because it will take some time to understand the story with its amazing twists and turns, we don't need anything else to keep us hooked.
The cinematography is so beautiful, the sets are awe worthy. What more can I say to bring justice to it. Everything is very believable. That is the word. I am so happy that I stumbled across this beautiful show. LMH made me fall in love with him again.

Dark and Deep story...
Have watched the first 10 episodes of this drama and I love it ????The series is very dark and deep ????just my cup of tea liked the genre also very much .... !!! I find the genre so refreshing after all the recent fantasy/zombie/time-travelling type of dramas. Lee Young Ae’s acting as the Maestro is top-notched??. Eagerly waiting for further episodes.love every episode of the show. A must watch people. I hope its a happy ending.??????

One of the Bestest Cdrama ?
The bestest drama i saw in 2023 and also the best in Chinese dramas! Omg the story has u melting till your toes from the first episode till the 25th episode! Usually, i skip episodes in Chinese dramas because of the length n duration. After Meteor Garden, this is the next best!The cast has its own charm...leads have crackling bonding and chemistry! Kudos to the makers for making it so beautifully! Hidden Love will take u down nostalgia lanes of your own campus lives!
Please do watch it...i binge watched it and then re-watched it again!

ok for one time watch..
OK, I enjoyed it even though the story was written really badly... The cast were good enough to keep me hooked, even though there were many parts that had me rolling my eyes, or saying "seriously?"I feel like this had the potential of being a really amazing drama, the main plot had so much potential, but every now and then I would get disappointed.. Also, the way they portrayed his illness was very unrealistic, especially the ending..
Anyway, it's still interesting enough to make you watch it till the end.. Just be prepared for some ridiculous plot holes and disappointments..
This drama was released right after "Kill me Heal me" which is also about multiple personalities.. and to be honest, the story is incomparable to KMHM even though they are both unrealistic portrayals of the illness. They both had a different twist and used the illness creatively.. But I found this drama to be sadly disappointing in many aspects.

Overall a good drama, I can’t watch it again tho my patience could never.
I want to love this so bad. Spoilers ahead. I was waiting for a different result with the many chances the main character was given to change things. However, with the exception of the first back in time, it was a repeat of almost the same thing every time after. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but it was hard watching Im Sol keep making the same mistakes trying to push Sun Jae away just to get the same result . It got tiring after the second time, buy the third time it was just annoying that she could treat him so bad. Sun Jae kept choosing her and again and again. Im Sol kept breaking his heart, acting as though she didn’t care. I was hoping at some point she would just say something! I was screaming at the tv if she would just communicate what she was doing or trying to do especially the last time around. I understand that she was trying to protect him, but she left him in the dark which could’ve saved them both some heartache. She missed the fate part of it & he would keep choosing her. I’d hoped for more romance between the two verses the bits and pieces throughout the episodes only when she let down her guard. Overall it was a good watch, I rooted for them and it paid off with happy ending. The two had great chemistry, there was plenty of humor, but I probably would not watch again, the storyline was frustrating until the last episode when it all worked out.Was this review helpful to you?

Yangzi Lots of Love ❤️
This drama is a sweet development of two persons contrasting in personalities n maturity level but loving each other, adapt to one another with such consideration because they understand n love each other. The drama is such a success because ONLY Yangzi can carry this character so successfully bringing everyone's character acting so well blended together, so naturally. Like we are watching everyone's happening in day to day happening.I especially like when early on he starts to fall for her and while she is crying he offers her music, a cello concerto the look on his face when she starts to share her love for the piece and the performer. Great match.
Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

ML is the Bestest GREENFLAG in kdrama history.
An absolute impeccable masterpiece. It is the best that kdramas offer. The entire crew and cast did a phenomenal job. It is by far my favorite series. The acting was brilliant and the writing was splendid. There were so many jaw-dropping and thrilling revelations/moments from the drama that could make you feel a range of emotions: contempt, sadness, empathy, anger and exasperation. So much was going on in each episode and each moment/scene was unraveled silently and calmly but yet full of suspense.The way the protagonist was treated was heartbreaking and you could only hope that she and all the other victims involved get the happiness and justice that they deserve. The story was unfolded unexpectantly. Although the revenge plan was an excellent one, outside circumstances take place to a level I did not expect.
All I am saying is that you will enjoy every moment of this series. It makes for a fun watch. You will gasp in astonishment with each revelation revealed.
Enjoy!!

A Perfect Light Watch ❤️❤️
One of the most talked about kdrama of 2021 starring our dimple couple, and the drama is really worth the hype. A very relaxing, feel good, light hearted, healing and cute drama that gives only positive vibes. The drama will take u to a beautiful vacation to the seasides of Gongjin with them and I bet u won't be able to get over it. A happy place for me.The story revolves around chief Hong of Gongjin(a small seaside town) who is literally everybody's savior in Gongjin . The most loved , respected and everybody's favorite. When a Seoul dentist Ms.Yoon Hye Jin comes to Gongjin to set up the only dental clinic there after a mishap in her life , their lives change for a lifetime.
The cute chemistry between the main leads is heart touching and adorable.
What made this drama special was , it did not only revolve around the main leads, but also portrayed the story of everybody's life .
It taught us not to judge anyone by the way they are living, they have their reasons and we should just accept them happily.
Also it taught us hardships are part of life , but it should not stop us from enjoying our lives , to spend time with our loved ones.
At some points this drama gave reply 1988 vibes. Extremely cute story with twists and turns. The location was breathtaking so were the osts.
I bet u won't be able to stop singing "Lalalallalalallala romantic sundayyyy " ;)

one time watch
I watched it from the start to the end. It was interesting and hilarious from episode 1 to 6 or 7, when Nok-du was still cross dressing as a female, and then from episode 8 to 16, the show just didn't seem as fun to watch anymore. I liked the way they shot their scenes though, and how every scene looked so nice. The all female elite Muwol corps were pretty cool as well.The main characters were cute, hence 3 stars, although the story made a bit no sense.
===========SPOILERS AHEAD=========
•The prophecy made no sense. The King's son will become King in the future. Duh? Isn't the throne usually passed on to the King's descendants (his son) after the King dies? What was the point of trying to kill his own son? Did the King think he was immortal?
• So it seemed like the King didn't start out as an incompetent King, but supposedly got too power hungry for no apparent reason, other than some subtle hint that was never fully explained on why his father, the previous King, who hated his guts and didn't want him to be King.
• I don't know what on earth Nok-du's brother was trying to accomplish throughout the entire show.
• The King, who was trying so hard to kill his son, didn't even bother checking the face of the corpse, making it seem like he intentionally didn't check because he wished his son was still alive. ???
I have many more questions, but I'll let it slide since the ending was a happy one (albeit a little unrealistically)

Somewhere confusing but till enjoyed the drama. Second lead love story is much more interesting. Still ,Liked the 4 leading main Characters. Easy to watch & glad a lovely ending . Beautiful lead characters❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Was this review helpful to you?
The narration, the acting, the plot, everything is very enjoyable and worth watching.
Fast paced exciting and honest series. Definite watch !!What I liked about this series is that it is using cliche topic in a new , honest and fresh manner. I just loved this concept.
Plot is nice. Both leads are good.
And what I like about the ML's character is that is has showcased in new light. For example typical South Korean series has a rich and cold male lead but he is different he is not that cold. He feels relatable.
About FL's character - I love that she is honest, she is completely aware of what she wants and doesn't feel guilt about her goal. Whatever the goal is.
Yeah, these are all the reasons why I am loving this Rom com.
Just go for it already.

The drama beautifully explores family, community, and the healing power of love.
This K-drama shared into the themes of family, sisterhood, career, community and most especially true love throughout its 16 episodes.I was initially drawn in by the central conflict, and hoping it will be resolved soon but along the few episodes, I found Sam Dal's journey toward inner peace with her family, particularly her soulmate Yong Pil.
In mirroring real life, it beautifully portrays how adversity can pave the way for profound connections, healing, and a peaceful resolution. love the storyline, moving performances, and commendable work from the entire team, it stands as one of the best K-dramas.
I had to cry so hard for the last two episodes, pure talent of the screenwriter and the entire production crew. Bravo!
